I want to share with you all how I prepared my low budget jollof rice from the beging to the end.

My raw ingredients for the jollof rice

This my raw rice was given to me in my church on Sunday by my pastor with two sachet tomatoes and it was as if he knew I had nothing at home to eat, so I was privileged to be among those that got the rice.

Step 1

I poured my raw rice into the cooking pot, added water and placed it on fire to boil for about 10-15minutes, after it was boiled, I removed it and washed by using a shifter.

Step 2

The next thing I did was to place my empty pot on fire then added vegetable oil, allowed it to get hot for like 2minutes, then I added my sliced onions into the hot oil.

As the onions was frying for 1 minutes, then I added the sachet tomatoes into the pot and stir it very well till it dissolved.
